Method

In large bowl, whisk together 1-1/2 cups of the flour, yeast and salt. Using wooden spoon, stir in warm water and olive oil until ragged dough forms.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead dough, adding as much of the remaining flour, a little at a time, as needed to make smooth, elastic dough (slightly tacky to the touch, but won't stick to hands or work surface), about 8 minutes.

Transfer to greased bowl; turn dough to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours. (Orlet rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.)

Method

In large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until fluffy; beat in cooking molasses, fancy molasses and egg (mixture may look curdled). In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; stir into butter mixture in 2 additions just until combined.

Place turbinado sugar in shallow bowl. Roll dough by 2 tbsp into balls; roll in sugar to coat. Arrange, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on parchment paper–lined rimless baking sheets. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, in 350°F (180°C) oven just until edges are firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes; transfer directly to racks to cool completely. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.)

Change it up: Big Fat Chocolate Molasses Cookies
Stir 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips into dough before rolling in turbinado sugar. Continue with recipe as directed.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Bake these cookies in the centre of your oven, one sheet at a time. It takes a bit longer but allows the cookies to bake evenly.
